it's eleven pm here in moscow you live with us on our t. ime to bomb with say at least fifteen people have been injured in fires and clashes in cairo as angry mobs attacked the presidential palace with petrol bombs there were at least six thousand protesters in the egyptian capital and thousands more watching across the country demanding that president morsi stands down from power belts shoes in cairo forty. we've got your must exceed scare in the capital as clashes have started by the presidential palace as you can see behind me reportedly bought the most groups threw molotov cocktails over the gates of the presidential building the security forces are right now armored vehicles and have been sending our north to figure out protesters are responding with fireworks wholesale we've just seen as police are removing temples from my months long sitting against the president's side the presidential building where they also set fire to triple fires

on the sides in the last few minutes has been i must say push by the security forces protesters have been fleeing in this direction in the background there's about ten ambulances are removing the engine from the front line now it's very chaotic scenes here this comes off the several protest converged in front the presidential palace and to hear a scrap as part of friday's day of the never and protesters called this against the president's people are still chanting in amongst this chaos that the president must step down they're saying this is the sentiment across the capital the scene of not sanaa to demonstrate his across the country today but the main one outside of cairo as of course we have of course i need which is when mr so we could of the money question is the scene doesn't die for science days an important day for the country as it is the year anniversary of the bloody football months ago that took place in full sight of the first of february two thousand and twelve was of course has been a point of contention for those who come for science and as the verdict on twenty

one the finding so much told them a sentence to death so today they came on the streets against the government against the fighting very angry scenes in a fisherman been gathering shot exeunt area osage downtown for the moment the focus is definitely here in the capital with these chaotic and violent street office. for more analysis of the situation in egypt we're joined by egyptian american journalist and middle east expert dommage fantine mystified back in two thousand and eleven it took eighteen days for the revolution to bring down the president it's been eight days of under lanting unrest in egypt is it going to end the same way. certainly not mubarak we have to remember mubarak was in power for thirty years which is quite a substantial period of time for a president to stay in office for morsi it's not just more see that the people are rising against it's morsi and the muslim brotherhood i mean islamofascism

group together was more see they are trying to pass their own agenda working for their own benefit bypassing the egyptian people the egyptian people rise against mubarak was four main demands freedom social justice human dignity and bread and this is not been accomplished so far what about the peace agreement signed yesterday is it likely to have any effect at all. d.d.d. statement that was issued there yesterday it's represents the individuals who cosigned that it does not hold trends in the streets of egypt those who have signed it some of them have openly indorse morsi during the run off for the presidential during the presidential elections so it only represent those who

signed it and not the masses of the people the egyptian people demands have been overlooked and this is just a beginning is going to be tough to remove morsi than it was to remove mubarak but the people and the use of egypt are determined to not settle for anything less than bread freedom social justice and human dignity some of the experts that we've spoken to here on on our team pointed out that the military are taking creasing control of egypt would you agree with that. the military has been in power in egypt since nine hundred fifty two when the morsi and the islamic fascist muslim brotherhood grows to power there are number one priority was to dismantle the police forces and to. infuse.

people from the muslim brotherhood it is stablished meant something similar to what happened in iran in the eighty's trying to establish a military revolutionary militias this would not work in egypt what the supreme leader of the muslim brotherhood doctora mohammed badie year and mohamed morsi are doing are just simply and bluntly engaging in a self gratification process just for their own benefit and for their own group and the hell with the egyptian people. new york a base egyptian american journalist and middle east analyst thank you thank you france declares it's one the initial offensive against islam makes an malim we've got an exclusive report on the lateral damage of the conflict with some of the chilling accounts emerging about the human cost. america's oil blockade against iran it's

a merge may have been violated by none other than the u.s. military itself the pentagon has admitted a conduct for some of the fuel it brought in for its operation in afghanistan it's now suspected that iranian petrol made up of significant percentages of imports as artist granted you can explain. u.s. gives money to the afghan government to buy fuel for its forces now u.s. officials the special inspector general for afghanistan reconstruction say they cannot verify that the fuel purchased for afghan security forces in recent years did not come from iran it could be their way of saying that it probably did cover the wrong and it could mean that the u.s. is violated its own extinction by letting us taxpayer dollars go to even coffers those sanctions that the u.s. has put in place not only bar u.s. companies from doing business with iran but also punish third party countries for doing business with iran but no matter how many rounds of sanctions are in effect

they were never watertight even though the european union under a lot of pressure from washington stopped buying uranium oil you have a host of other countries that still do iran's biggest buyer now biggest buyers now are china india and japan and these countries are oil thirsty especially china so china imports of uranium oil india's imports of iranian crude were up thirty percent according to tanker arrival data western sanctions have it rains oil exports in two thousand and twelve leading to a very deep plunge in the arabian currency but continuous robust demand from its top buyers as well as the purchase of new tankers allow the red to unexpectedly boost exports late last year despite the sanctions the u.s. can't absolutely force those major economies especially china to stop buying from iran political and economic ramifications of such pressure would be significant but the u.s. government is trying their prompting those other countries to buy oil from washington's

allies saudis and katori so you could imagine how happy the gulf states are about this whole new business coming in but washington is resolute to put more pressure on other countries to put forward more threats like cutting them off from the u.s. banking system. so for many countries the situation starts to look more like blackmail than anything else was regards to iran and blackmail is essentially what the us calls diplomacy which by the way is not working but washington acts to hold not only ran hostage to sanctions but the whole world which is of course creating more terrorists heading for the stars but lost at sea has been a rare failure for russian us like liberation as a rocket carrying communication equipment dishes and minutes after takeoff. a suicide bomber has attacked the u.s. embassy in the turkish capital ankara killing

a security guard authorities say the attacker who was reportedly a member of the left wing group detonated explosives as he was passing through an x. ray scanner at the entrance to the building our chief correspondent policia brings us more details. now according to eyewitnesses there was this massive bang also prunes of smoke that have been erupting outside of the american embassy or american embassy staff have been taken to safe rooms inside the embassy this blast did happen in a part of ankara where there are several other embassies including that of germany as well as all fronts the explosion caused no damage inside the embassy itself but it did cause extensive damage to the outside wall there are a number of illegal groups ranging from the kurdish separatists to lift just to islamic militants who have launched attacks in recent years in turkey you also have in addition to this violence from syria that continuously spills across the border and in the past artillery from syria has killed turkish civilians what that means

is that you have a whole host of groups who could have carried out this attack back in september there was that notorious mission in benghazi in libya where we had four american staff members killed including the american ambassador and then just a few days ago you had britain's foreign office warning of a potential threat against the british embassy in tripoli so what we are witnessing is a chain of events targeting western embassies not least of all the united states that seems to be picking up momentum and it is a reflection of the growing anger against washington and other western countries at the particularly unstable times in the region. professor of international relations for bill kinda university in turkey believes that the u.s. is should be less involved in other countries of ways to avoid such attacks in the future. or surprisingly when those issues did not place from beginning to the election campaigns were much expected before mr obama was reelected now he. has

been reelected. he was really good who are domestic reasons extension who shutting down americans who are. but now of course he is likely to find himself being drawn in directly at any rate into issues to do security in turkey into issues in costa who also african americans may be letting the french and british play a lead role in north africa but of course american intelligence assets american military advice and saw a big part of what is going on to and the risk must be. american institutions and diplomatic buildings all could be targeted elsewhere. sexual abuse harassment and a loss of faith the german catholic church later we investigate how money and destroyed evidence helps priests accused of serious crimes escape trial that's after a break. well

. it's technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future covered. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know about. welcome to the big picture. is he knew. you.

would. welcome back here with our team it's not so great to be in britain that's the idea some u.k. politicians want to promote to potential european my grants they've yet a huge influx from some ease states that are now allowed to live anyway in the bloc . takes up the story. as one official put it the negative ad campaign about britain would help to dispel the myth that the streets in the u.k. all paved with gold and the politicians certainly are worried and they've got it wrong in the past you see back in two thousand and four the previous labor government got it really wrong they got the figures so wrong about the number of poles that were coming over to potentially live in england they suggested that

there would be something around fifteen thousand polish citizens coming over to the u.k. lo and behold less than a decade later the polish community in the u.k. is one of the biggest communities and polish is the second language spoken in england and wales the previous year was the year of the olympics and politicians trump and trumpeting great britain and how london and britain is the best destination the world billions of pounds poured into advertising to really sell the u.k. but it seems that for immigrants potential immigrants from rumania i'm from ball garia the message is that britain isn't so great after all so a lot of people used to use that sort of as quite farcical the fact that the government is willing to trash its own image and to admit that there are problems with the economy in disarray that there's a housing crisis and that there are problems with schools and hospitals everyone's been having a good old chuckle over the idea of a negative ad campaign and yes some people have actually said that it's quite

insulting but remain ians them for vogue ariens but one newspaper has even suggested that people send in their own suggestions for what an anti britain poster would look like and the result has been really quite scathing and quite harsh to britain as a country we've got slogans that include u.k. yuck and come to britain and clean the toilets or even britain we haven't left ourselves because the public transport isn't running so people very sort of mocking at the same time but quite so. scathing about the country and we also took to the streets of london to find out what ordinary londoners think about the situation let's take a lesson is that it's pathetic this mixed messages and it's hypocrisy in the day a waste of time. actually. seems like the reports are just over they don't really have a job i'm not home for me telly. at the moment leave here everything to much

expense you westminster is bound by law so they have to follow these rules and they have to allow anybody who wishes to come over in twenty fourteen to enter the country but a lot of citizens in the u.k. as you saw there feel that it insulting to those people and a waste of money having advertised britain previously france's president francois hollande is planning a trip to mali to survey what's being hailed as a successful military intervention against islamists the french acknowledged however that the operation is now entering a tricky phase which is likely to involve guerrilla tactics from the extremist observers say the three week long fighting has spread more havoc across the country with civilians and paying a bloody prize for it we've got the story of one of the victims brought to us exclusively by local journalists going dollars one chill. grosser that out of one

of us as but the war became a real nightmare for the people of this small city in the segura region it was one of the first places bombed by french warplanes before more jihadists arrived sweeping south towards the capital bamako the french intervention left a pile of debris and ashes that's just the visible traces of the war they left it civilians who are left with the scars that will last a lifetime one family paid a deep price for this conflict against the islamist terrorists one of the family sons was killed by a jihadist soldier inside his own home. one brother was attacked by a group of militants the ridge children among them he started running and got back into our house but they followed him one of the children fired at him but missed and then another insurgent shot him inside the house my brother fell and was riddled with bullets we laid his body in the house we couldn't bury him because we were afraid to go outside. this is just one example of the terror that the conflict

is putting mali and civilians through plaguing the weakest the most no one was surprised when india bali once jihadist troops arrived it was discovered that the majority of the military were heavily armed child soldiers. we discussed the upcoming visit of president francois hollande to mali with strasburg a base engine listening expert of front row but harness who believes that the trip is all about political grandstanding. he may regard this is a window of opportunity to present this is a great french excess which militarily technically tactically certainly looks like let's be honest but it's his opportunity because clearly in the background there is considerable american assistance there are now british troops coming in eight thousand african troops it's not going to be further out i may say the french are very reluctant to approach the algerian from c o two closely because algeria and france as you know have a long history with. a bit of

a civil war i think this may well be the last chance or longhouse to claim a victory before it all becomes obviously an allied operation i think that's probably the main reason there's more news for you online a including torture executive executions and a taste for covering it all up these are the reasons why one cia whistleblower went turned against the agency and got thirty months in jail for dharti dot com please revelations. and to find out all about a world war two era city that exists only to pull six days the yeah it's got all the details about the russian atlantis and i t. a rocket with communications equipment on board has strayed off course and plunge

into the pacific ocean soon after takeoff the company responsible for the launches said it will look into why it happened has r t z a got a piece going off with the details. the zenith rocket with the u.s. communications satellite on board blasted off from the odyssey floating platform words went off course almost immediately and its engines were switched off. into the pacific somewhere along the equator less than a minute after takeoff now on the equator the earth's rotation speed provides an additional booster rocket so they could carry more weight when it comes to launching from floating platforms besides looking or some there are advantages and disadvantages like there's a minimal risk of rockets falling down on inhabited areas but waves could be a problem in fact there's speculation that that could have been the case this start sooraj is a collaboration between russia and to us boring companies they've been working

together since one thousand nine hundred five thirty four successful launches well this was supposed to be the first launch in two thousand and thirteen now to other international news and this sunni protestors in iraq have blocked a major highway in the west of the country protests by the minority group take place most weeks but these appear to be the largest as since the end of last am they're angry at what many see as discrimination against them by the government a group linked to al qaida has also urged them to take up arms. and bomb blasts in northwest pakistan has left twenty two people dead and injured more than forty on a crowded street with bill shia and sunni mosques police say a motorcycle packed with explosives was detonated killing worshippers who were leaving after friday prayers no group has said it's responsible for the attack the incident to happen close to pakistan's a semi autonomous tribal region with a stronghold of taliban and al qaida. syria's key opposition

group has joined the cause of outrage over what the regime says was an israeli bombing near damascus national coalition slammed be a strike on a military research center inside syria as an attack on the country's a so while the government has pledged to retaliate it's a middle east expert there however take the rebels condemnation of the israeli attack with caution but the reported bombing off the side actually plays into their hands. the main thing right now is to remember that this comes on the heels of systematic targeting of syrian by the syrian free army and the syrian opposition also i'd like to remind you that the syrian opposition has already thought of the radar station on the edges of the golan heights last year so this comes as a continuation of the effort to. royd the syrian army by the

opposition and now by the masters themselves by the israelis so what we are witnessing now is a reflection of the political impasse that the syrian opposition as suffering from being unable to achieve anything significant on the ground they have resorted to help from the zionists. i don't think the. policy of making public comments of strikes be it assassinations or strikes that they launch outside the boundaries of international law serious blows to the reputation of the german catholic church have resulted in more and more worshippers turning their backs on it child abuse and sexual harassment cases committed by preset don't even get to court are seen as the main reason for dramatically shrinking congregations you may find some of the details in peter all of us report

disturbing. the abuse of trust the destruction of faith the theft of innocence or undone. in one nine hundred seventy nine when i was invited to his house he locked the doors and forced me to drink what i now know was alcohol. he asked me what i thought of his penis which was a wrecked then the priest made me perform oral sex on him. the catholic church in germany is facing a crisis attendances dropped significantly over the past few years according to the central committee of german catholics one hundred eighty thousand parishioners stopped going to mass in twenty ten alone many citing church hierarchy unwillingness to do enough about claims of abuse like the ones made by wilfred the priest at the center of this particular scandal is now being moved to

a different parish while this church where its alleged abuses took place remains closed to worshippers but just how difficult is it to bring a criminal prosecution in cases like this if those people go to court now it's very difficult to get to a sentence because the richness is sometimes died in between the memory has got lost and so those attempts to get to have a trial usually fail christina fifer had been in charge of an extensive study into abuse in the german catholic church dating back as far as nineteen forty five his research claims that the church destroyed files on priests involved in abuse up to ten years also that twelve hundred victims were paid hush money not to reveal what happened to them he was dismissed after a dispute with a senior cleric sheikh over what information would be made public the scandal that

this research is no not going to be finished. it's causing problems to them as well now they're losing members because of the new headlines of the last few weeks there are those within the church that recognize the importance of transparency it lapsed catholics but to be brought back into the flock and then. really think and when we do not make things clear and there will always be an aftertaste something has been covered up this will harm attempts to get people into church because it is a bad foundation for trust and all belief is based on trust. and one for jaime for wilfrid that trust has been lost he says he will never set foot in a church again he's committed to getting compensation for himself and those others who claim they were abused by people who were supposed to be in a position of responsibility peter all over r.t. germany. he didn't.
